Hyoid Immersion
Intermediate Level
Your hyoid bone and upper ribs utilize your vast tissue network connected to your cervical spine, shoulder blades, and more. All of these interconnections can directly impact your breath, the carriage of your head, and your balance.
In this immersion, we'll take a little time to look at some of the anatomy and connections of the hyoid and then move toward embodying that knowledge. All of the work we do here will help to free your voice, liberate your tongue, and help you connect with that deep front central line.
Shared Experience
“I found softness and vibration in my throat. In the days since doing the series, I've found that I wake up with less clenching in my jaw.”

“I've been noticing that when I do a short hyoid mobility lesson of any sort, even just breathing in the car and sounding a little, the discomfort I've had in my sacrum dissolves away, and I can quickly soften into the back of my body - neck, shoulder, pelvis, legs. My foot moves through walking with more comfort and ease after even a few short minutes. It's like my whole body is reorganizing around this throat release - years of patterns are slowly unfolding.”
